Naruto's God-level System

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What! Orochimaru-sama lost to that brat!"

"Indeed."

"Someone will tell you about this guy later, but you must not provoke him. I heard that Danzo also suffered a loss at this guy's hands today!"

"What! Anbu was defeated as well!"

"It can't exactly be called a defeat, but it can only be described as a small loss."

Minato was confused.

Since such words came from the mouth of the Third Hokage, it meant that this mysterious individual was indeed powerful. Otherwise, the Third Hokage would never have warned him not to provoke him.

"No, for the safety of the village, such a dangerous person cannot be allowed to stay here. I will visit him tonight." Minato immediately made up his mind, and then greeted the Third Hokage before leaving the Hokage office.

"Minato, I hope you don't cause trouble."

After Minato left, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed. He knew Minato's nature too well. Although young and upright, Minato's devotion to the village surpassed even Danzo's!

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi was sure that Minato would indeed go to see Akira that night.

But at this moment, the instigator of all this was holding Mitarashi Anko's thigh like a sand sculpture!

"Anko! I'm your savior! Please, let me eat! I'm really going to starve to death!"

Akira's expression was exaggerated as he clung to Anko's thigh, crying and fussing, his hands unsure whether he was really begging for help or just taking advantage. He squeezed her thigh a few times.

"No way, this is my reward for completing the task today. I will never give it to you again!"

"Is it that heartless?"

"It's so heartless!"

"Ugh!"

Akira, who had begged in vain, ran into the bedroom angrily, slamming the door behind him.

"That's my room!" Anko was speechless for a moment, but the door was already closed.

Inside the room, Akira's stomach growled. Although he had managed to trick a bowl of ramen out of Teuchi earlier, he hadn't had a single drop of water since. He originally planned to ask Anko to sponsor him another bowl, but didn't expect her to be so heartless!

Frustrated, Akira began pounding his pillow, unaware that a figure was already watching from the roof outside the window.

"Is this really considered a master?" Minato thought to himself, shocked. He had seen Akira's earlier actions—his exaggerated motions begging for food, and wondered how such a person could be considered a master.

Minato was confused. For the first time, he questioned the Third Hokage's words.

"Should I test my skills?" A thought crossed Minato's mind, and he quickly threw a shuriken through the window.

"Whoosh!"

A golden flash appeared in Anko's room!

The Flying Thunder God Technique—S-Class Space Ninjutsu!

This was Minato's signature technique, the one that had earned him the title of "Yellow Flash" on the battlefield, feared by enemies far and wide.

Minato had placed a spatial marker on the shuriken, allowing him to teleport instantly to wherever it landed!

Akira was taken aback.

He had been rolling on the bed when suddenly a golden figure appeared above him. Reflexively, he performed Shinra Tensei!

"Boom!"

The bed cracked into pieces…

Minato was sent flying out of the window!

"Whoah! What is this? What just happened?" Akira was confused. His reflexes had kicked in, and he had used Shinra Tensei instinctively when he saw the golden figure.

It was a fast reaction for a Jōnin, but the loud crash only made Akira feel even more troubled.

"Oops! The bed is gone, and Anko will cause trouble again tomorrow! What do I even say? Haunted? Will she believe that?" Akira grimaced.

Meanwhile, Minato, far outside the window, was shaken.

"Unbelievable! So strong!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

"How could someone have such terrifying ninjutsu? I didn't even see how this person attacked me, yet I was thrown so far!"

"And I didn't even see the movement! I'm a gymnast, and even I didn't catch it!"

Countless questions filled Minato's mind, and at the same time, his usual overwhelming confidence was shaken.

"Originally, the Third Hokage expected me to inherit the title of Hokage, but with my current strength, how can I be worthy of that position? With my embarrassing speed, I was actually called the 'Yellow Flash!' I didn't even see how they attacked me, how can I improve?"

At that moment, Minato felt a deep sense of helplessness.

"I'd better go train for a few years. With my current strength, I can't protect Konoha!"

"Alright! Mystery guy! When I get stronger, I'll challenge you again!" Minato resolved to leave and headed for the outskirts of the village to train.

The next day, a farewell letter appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.

"???"

Kakashi, who was reporting as usual, was confused when he saw the enraged Hokage.

"This idiot Minato! He was supposed to inherit the Hokage position, but he left directly! I'm so angry!" Hiruzen slammed his hand on the desk, breaking it into pieces!

"What happened, Hokage-sama?"

Kakashi asked, still puzzled.

Hiruzen Sarutobi handed him the farewell letter.

"Take a look! This idiot really frustrates me!"

Kakashi flipped through the letter and grew more serious.

"Lord Third, although the captain has left, he would never betray the village. I trust his character!"

In this era, leaving the village was seen as defection, especially during times of war.

"Of course, I know he hasn't defected, but for a hero like him to leave now will have a huge impact on the frontline!"

"Lord Third, why don't we inform everyone that Captain Minato has left to carry out a long-term secret mission?"

"Yes, that's a good idea!"

Hiruzen praised Kakashi's idea, acknowledging his sharp mind, even if his strength was not as remarkable as some.

After the two parted ways, Kakashi went straight to the frontline to spread the news of Minato's departure.

"I just hope Minato doesn't fall into a slump. The upcoming Third Ninja War could be dangerous without him," Hiruzen mused, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
